A             D         A  
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
              E       A   
let me hide myself in Thee
        E     E7      A     
Let the water and the blood,
         E       E7         A     
from Thy wounded side which flowed
              D      A    
Be of sin the double cure;
                    E    E7 A    
save from wrath and make me pure.
A              D     A     
Not the labors of my hands,
                E       A    
can fulfill Thy law's demands
         E       E7      A    
Could my zeal no respite know,
         E        E7   A   
could my tears forever flow
                  D    A    
All for sin could not atone;
                    E    E7 A    
Thou must save, and Thou a  lone.
A             D      A     
Nothing in my hand I bring,
              E       A    
simply to the cross I cling
       E       E7       A     
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
          E       E7       A    
helpless, look to Thee for grace
               D        A   
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
                 E  E7 A   
wash me, Savior, or I  die.
A                 D        A      
While I draw this fleeting breath,
                     E        A    
when mine eyes shall close in death
       E       E7       A     
When I soar to worlds unknown,
    E           E7       A     
see Thee on Thy judgment throne
              D         A  
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
              E    E7 A    
let me hide myself in Thee.
